From time to time, I am prone to daydreaming. Nothing unusual about that, except in my case it sometimes causes me to lose focus on where I am or what I'm doing. What is more worrying is that my daydreams are not the happy, carefree things that most people like to think about. Sometimes I imagine myself being bullied and manipulated. It can be quite disturbing. I don't know why it happens. Perhaps it's just the way stress manifests for me.
Luckily, I have a wife who is very understanding and always helps to bring me back from despair. I decided to write a song about it.
For the music, I used a guitar looper pedal to play the riff over a range of chords, some happy, some sad. I hoped this would reflect my changing moods.
I hope you get some inspiration and enjoyment from it.
Any feedback most gratefully received. Thank you for listening.

It always hurts when I go away,
My mind was here but not today.
Hey where did you go just then? You ran from me.
I try to deny it but you see.
How can I stand to be so...
Ready to take it on although...
I never can face the foe in me,
But you are always here for me.
The memory shines but my mind is dull,
Those negative thoughts that I try to cull.
They're bringing me down. They're throwing me overboard.
You give me a nod and I feel adored.
I couldn't begin to wonder...
How I could hold it together...
If you were not here to tether me to the earth.
And then you give it all to me.
I try to roll with the punches just like you,
Sometimes I never know just what to do,
You catch me in the moment, break my fall down.
I try to see it different for my sake.
It's a beautiful day but I'm in the clouds.
Smiling so dumb, but the anger shrouds.
A pall of venom and a tide of hate.
The glow of your love is all too great.
I feel that I just can't take it.
The way that you never fake it.
You only ever give to me so true.
And then you go and look at me.
Good live performance, and cool song!!!
